Heidegger, Ethics and the Practice of Ontology presents an important
new examination of ethics and ontology in Heidegger. There remains a
basic conviction throughout Heidegger's thought that the event by
which Being is given or disclosed is somehow 'prior' to our relation
to the many beings we meet in our everyday lives. This priority makes
it possible to talk about Being 'as such'. It also sanctions the
relegation of ethics to a secondary position with respect to ontology.
However, Heidegger's acknowledgement that ontology itself must remain
intimately bound to concrete existence problematises the priority
accorded to the ontological dimension. David Webb takes this bond as a
key point of reference and goes on to develop critical perspectives
that open up from within Heidegger's own thought, particularly in
relation to Heidegger's debt to Aristotelian physics and ethics. Webb
examines the theme of continuity and its role in the constitution of
the 'as such' in Heidegger's ontology and argues that to address
ontology is to engage in an ethical practice and vice versa.
